Selection Guide
Use the criteria below to confirm the 2711P-B6C20D is the right choice, or to identify the best alternative:
- Display size needed: 6-inch → 2711P-B6C20D ✓ | 7-inch → consider 2711P-B7C4D8 | 10-inch → consider 2711P-B10C4D8
- Input method: Keypad + Touch → 2711P-B6C20D ✓ | Touch only → 2711P-T6C20D
- Communication protocol: EtherNet/IP + serial → 2711P-B6C20D ✓ | EtherNet/IP only → 2711P-B6C5A8
- Environment: IP65 / NEMA 4 required → 2711P-B6C20D ✓
- Budget / availability: Refurbished units available — contact Konmask for pricing
- Software platform: Existing FactoryTalk ME project → original model preferred to avoid migration effort

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can I replace a 2711P-B6C20D with a 2711P-B6C5A8 without reprogramming?
A: In most cases yes — both run FactoryTalk View ME and share the same form factor. However, firmware version differences may require a project conversion in FactoryTalk View Studio. Always test on a backup before live deployment.
Q: Is the 2711P-B6C20D compatible with ControlLogix 5580 (v32+)?
A: The hardware is compatible via EtherNet/IP, but FactoryTalk View ME runtime v9.0+ is recommended for full feature support with newer Logix firmware. Verify runtime version on the unit before connecting.
Q: Can a third-party HMI (e.g., Weintek) replace this unit?
A: Yes, with re-engineering. The Weintek MT8071iE supports AB EtherNet/IP and DF1 drivers, but the FactoryTalk ME project must be rebuilt in EasyBuilder Pro. Konmask can advise on migration scope.
Q: What is the panel cutout size for the 2711P-B6C20D?
A: Standard cutout is approximately 192 mm × 138 mm. Refer to Rockwell publication 2711P-IN006 for exact dimensional drawings.
Q: Do you supply refurbished units with warranty?
A: Yes. Refurbished units carry a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. All units are functionally tested prior to dispatch.
